Straight Up Strangers

Straight Up Strangers… That’s what we all are. You never really know someone until you take the time. Then do you ever really? Well that’s how we all meet as strangers and so did Tim and I. We’ve been working on music together since circa 2003. Our music expression has changed throughout the years but our hearts are still in search for that moment when we’re all truly free. We hope our music will move you.Debut album coming in '09. "Do I Know You?"

Prueph's Bio:
I’ve been DJing since Dec. of 96 and have been a professional DJ since 98. It was my main source of income while I was in school. I got to travel all over the east coast during the late 90’s playing at clubs and venues.I remember the first time I heard a DJ and really understood what it is that they did. It was circa 86 and my cousin and I went to the Record Bar. He was looking at these new disc things and was amazed the all the music was in this little disc. My cousin walks to the record section and starts thumbing through the vinyl. He pulls out RUN DMC’s Raising Hell, Beastie Boys Licenses to ill, and the Fat Boys Crushin. Then told me, “This is where it’s at.” I was just a good ol’ country boy and he was from Kannapolis. “What I thought to be a big city.” So we get home and crank up our grandmothers old 60’s stereo cabinet record player. The first record he plays is the B side to Raising Hell and starts with Peter Piper. I had never heard of Rap, Hip Hop, or anything at this time. I didn’t even know there was such a thing as MTV. It had me amazed with the mixture of nursery rhyme and funky ass beat. It had me spinning on my head for hours or at least trying to.Growing up, I always wanted to be the fourth Beastie Boy and start a band like the Beastie Boys. It wasn’t until ten years later that it actually started to take shape. I had saved up $2000 enough money for a down payment on a new car. I was unable to get a loan being so young. So I went out and bought some turntables. I had just turned 18 and was into going to clubs. So I had these turntables without a clue what to do with them. It took me about 6 months before I knew what I was doing and another 6 months before I played out. I started playing house parties. My first big club event was after a drag show at Scorpios in Charlotte. Lol Good times!!!!..
